William Mackenzie married Cassandra Wood, a beautiful young woman from a notable family. But he was seen as a useless son-in-law in Wood Family. Because of his job as a shop keeper, he was treated like a trash in his wife's family. He even served the Woods without any complaint. However, 3 years passed, there was a man came to him. "General, we need your power. Would you come back to the Kingdom?"
View MoreThe Wood family was currently gathered together in their living room after the engagement ceremony between Shirley Wood, the youngest of the Wood family and Peter Green, the son of the gold mine owner at Carlo Hill.
Cassandra Wood who was the older sister of Shirley, was sitting on the edge and didn't seem to like being there. Several times she saw her husband being a servant to her family. She was upset. Very upset. How could she not? Her husband had no authority whatsoever and was often the target of her family. She really wanted to see her husband fight back, at least once. But, in fact, until they had been married for almost three years, Bill was still the same. Still becoming a useless son-in-law to her family. "Hurry up and fill this glass, Bill!" Shirley ordered her brother-in-law. Bill calmly picked up the bottle of red wine and opened it quickly and refilled Shirley's glass. He then stood next to the old man who was Cassandra's grandfather, Christopher Wood who had a pointed face like a crow. Shirley smiled happily and sipped her wine slowly. "You see, don't you, dear? My brother-in-law is so kind to serve us all so well," she told Peter. Peter Green, the man who would soon marry Shirley, smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. You're very lucky, dear." "Of course. Our Bill has a true heart, he'll do whatever we tell him to do," George Wood said, Shirley's older brother who was also Bill's brother-in-law. Bill didn't respond at all and turned to his wife, "Cassie, do you want me to fill your glass again?" "No, I don't," Cassandra replied curtly. "How about the dessert?" Bill asked. "No need," Cassandra replied and got up from her chair. "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I have to go to my room, I'm so tired," the beautiful woman with blonde hair argued. Not waiting for an answer, she left the living room. Bill quickly took off his apron and followed his wife. The woman did not go to their room, but she went to the rooftop. Cassandra knew her husband was following her, and pushed Bill away and hit him with her body. "Why, Bill? Why do you have to be such a coward? Don't you have any self-respect? Why don't you fight them?" She didn't stop hitting and Bill didn't seem to want to interfere with her venting her anger. Bill just waited until she got tired of hitting him. "What did I do wrong to marry a trash like you?" Cassandra shouted. Bill was silent. He thought answering his wife's words would only make her angrier. "Why do you want to be their servant, Bill? Tell me why!" Cassandra urged, unable to stand it. Bill couldn't possibly tell her the truth. It was still his big secret. "Tell me! Why don't you ever defend yourself? I'm sick of it, Bill. So sick of seeing weak men like you." The woman then began to cry in frustration. When Bill tried to touch her, Cassandra pulled away. "You can't even defend yourself, how can I possibly put up with you? Let's just get a divorce, Bill!" Bill froze in place as soon as he heard that. "Divorce?" "Yes. Let's get divorced! I hate you." "Why we must get divorce?" Bill asked. "Why, you said? After all, we only got married because grandma asked us to, not because we liked each other." Cassandra turned around and looked the other way. Bill approached his wife and touched her arm but she still refused. "I know, but-" "But what? Never mind, it's better if we go our separate ways. There's no point in being together," Cassandra said, still unwilling to look at her husband's face. "I can't." Cassandra laughed sarcastically, "Come on! Look at you! You're just a worker at a fruit stall in the market. What can I expect from you?" The woman sat down on a chair, staring ahead. Bill followed her and sat beside her even though he knew she didn't like it. "What's wrong with that, Cassie?" Cassandra really wanted to strangle her husband. "You know I work in an office, I'm a secretary in a big company. Don't you ever think about how embarrassed I am to have a husband who has such a lowly job?" Cassandra paused for a moment, before continuing, "You have no idea how they mock me. Loser husband, no self-respect, living hand to mouth. I'm the one who-" "Cassie-" "Don't interrupt me yet! Let me talk!" Cassandra pleaded and she was now back on her feet. The woman seemed ready to explode again, and Bill could see that very clearly. "Because of you, I'm underestimated, Bill. So, never mind, let's end it all. I can't take it anymore." Bill shook his head and gingerly touched his wife's hand. "No, I won't. I will never let you go." Cassandra clicked her tongue in exasperation, "If you won't do that, then I'll be the one to sue you in court." "Don't do that. Please, Cassie. Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra sighed tiredly. If only her husband had said that long ago, she would have immediately supported him. However, right now she was really very tired. Waiting for Bill to change for three years was not a short time. She had gone through so many trials and insults in her marriage with Bill, she didn't want to go through it again. For her, it was enough. "Your chance is gone," Cassandra said. Bill began to despair, "Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra was still silent, not even intending to reply. "Just one time," Bill said seriously. Thinking for a long time, Cassandra, who initially looked hesitant, finally replied, "Okay. One chance, if you don't change, I'll file for divorce." A smile appeared on Bill's lips. "Okay." He had been unable to apply for a good job because it meant he had to use his real identity. He couldn't do that because it would mean revealing his identity to the public. He couldn't do it yet, there was still one thing that made him have to hide his true identity. "That's it, dear. I'm coming down." Cassandra groaned in annoyance again but was too lazy to say anything so she just kept quiet as she watched her husband leave the rooftop. When Bill returned to the living room, his grandfather-in-law was already glaring at him. "Where have you been? The guest glass is empty." "Talking to Cassie for a while, Gramps." "Hurry up and fill Peter's glass!" Bill sighed, trying to restrain himself and quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured the drink into Peter's empty glass. Peter smiled mockingly. "Come here for a moment, future brother-in-law!" Peter said, asking Bill to come closer. The man was actually reluctant to respond but he also wanted to know what Peter wanted so he bowed slightly. "Your wife is very beautiful, can I approach her?" Peter whispered in a low voice. Bill instantly stiffened. "How dare you!" Bill shouted.Reiner could not continue speaking."General Gardner." Mary called out with a gaze full of disbelief.The couple certainly never expected that sentence to come from James Gardner."You ... must be joking right, James?" Reiner chose to say again as he chuckled.However, James did not seem to be smiling or even laughing at all. That made Reiner shake his head and say, "James. Come on, you can't do that. I-""I can, Rei. I am the supreme leader of the soldiers of the Ans De Lou Kingdom. I have full authority in terms of allowing or forbidding any soldier who will fight with me," James explained in a serious tone.Mary's lips instantly trembled.She looked at her husband who looked confused. Oh, suddenly everything felt so wrong. She didn't understand at all. She had wanted her husband to stay out of the war. In fact, she really wanted to leave the palace and live outside the palace with her small family.However, upon hearing James Gardner's words and her husband's reaction, she felt th
The words that Mary Kesley had just said left James Gardner rooted to the spot.However, not only was the twenty-nine-year-old war general extremely shocked, the ground war commander, who was none other than the pregnant woman's husband, Reiner Anderson was also turned into a statue.The man could only stare with a dumb expression at his wife. Meanwhile, Mary, who saw the two men looking so shocked, felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red.She cleared her throat softly to regain her confidence and only then began to speak again, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't ... I shouldn't have taken you two by surprise."James Gardner swallowed, but still could not find his voice again so he could only remain silent, stunned.Reiner Anderson began to blink his eyes and as if he had just regained his consciousness, he immediately hugged his wife, "Honey, oh my! Why didn't you tell me before?""How long has it been?" Reiner asked again.Before his wife could answer, Reiner had already released his
Gary Davis was silent for a few moments. However, he did not let Ronald Wings wait for him for long and quickly replied, "There is no need to do anything. Let's just wait."Ronald frowned, looking unsure, "Are you sure, Your Honor?""Hm, I wonder what James Gardner will do next," Gary said.Ronald was silent, waiting for further instructions from the prince. However, all Gary could say was, "Let's wait!"Meanwhile in the silver building, the frown on James' forehead became even more obvious after hearing the important report from the two people who helped him, namely Mary Kesley and Reiner Anderson.The couple did not force James to speak because they knew he was in deep thought.As the two began to daydream, imagining the possibilities of future events, they heard James clearing his throat softly."I ... now understand," James said.That one sentence didn't quite satisfy Mary and Reiner. They expected James to give an explanation or perhaps a response regarding the results of the inv
Silence.Reiner Anderson was unable to answer the words of his wife, Mary Kesley.To be honest, Reiner also knew that everything Mary said was true. He was also thinking ahead and had prepared himself for the possibility of a civil war between Xylan Wellington and Gary Davis.However, of course he didn't want to make Mary anxious so he still tried to look calm in front of his wife.Meanwhile, Mary, who saw her husband's silence, sighed nervously, "Right? I'm right. Right, Rei?"As if he had just woken up from his reverie, Reiner replied, "Honey, calm down!""How can I possibly calm down, Rei? If war breaks out ... within this kingdom, it's not impossible that the situation of the palace will be chaotic. This palace ... will no longer be safe to live in and this ....""I know, I understand. But ... Ans De Lou Kingdom has many formidable warriors, Mary. You don't need to worry. Moreover, there is James. You ... also know that he i
"Ronald Wings."A name that was of course very familiar to Reiner Anderson. Reiner's mouth opened slightly because he was too shocked. He even froze for a few moments, as if he needed time to accept a fact that he had never expected before.As if knowing that Reiner was having a hard time accepting it and perhaps thought he might have misheard, James said rather heavily, "You didn't hear wrong. Ronald Wings, the soldier who was previously Queen Monica's confidant.""B-but, James. How is that possible?" Reiner groaned in disbelief, more like not wanting to believe it.In a slightly trembling tone he added, "Didn't he ... you said he was sent by King Xylan to investigate everything about Gary Davis, right? Then ... then ....""King Xylan did have a lot of faith in him." James sighed softly, remembering the young king's expression when he told him about his order to Ronald Wings. Reiner stiffened instantly.James continued, "Hm, their mission was successful. I guess ... from the very b
James Gardner let out a long breath, looking a little distressed.After all, Xylan Wellington had to know about the possibility of Gary Davis becoming a major threat to him.However, he could not simply tell Xylan about the matter as if what he was saying was a problem with another kingdom."The thing is ... I don't know exactly how Prince Gary is, Rei. I need to know everything about him before telling King Xylan," James explained.Reiner was not very fast with his best friend's words. "What else do you need to find out, James? Isn't everything clear? He returned to this palace disguised as a servant. Trying to get close to King Xylan until she finally managed to become one of his confidants. What more proof do you need?" Reiner said vehemently.James shook his head and sighed softly before explaining, "Rei, the matter of the throne is certain. I mean ... Prince Gary's goal is of course the throne of Ans De Lou Kingdom. But ... what we don't know is, why does he intend to take it? A
